This shell is the ocean’s secret palette, where moonlight and storm-clouds swirl in a dance of pearlescent light! It is the source of iridescent abalone cabochons. Abalone shells are 20-200mm, characteristically flat, ear-shaped with nacreous interior. They have characteristic open respiratory pores in a row on the shell’s outer edge. The nacre is highly iridescent with strong colors making the shells valuable for jewelry making. Abalone shells are believed to promote emotional balance, reduce anxiety, and enhance intuition. The shells are widely used in indigenous traditions for smudging (cleansing with sage). Their natural respiratory pores provide oxygen flow, making them ideal heat-proof holders for burning herbs. They are also used to promote emotional balance, intuition, and peace. The tough, interlocking structure of calcium carbonate and mother-of-pearl (nacre) has inspired innovations in biomaterials, offering models for developing extremely strong, lightweight synthetic materials.
